St. Croix, Nova Scotia

The Battle at St. Croix happened during Father Le Loutre's War between New England Rangers and the Mi'kmaq.

To capture the Acadians involved in the British defeat at the Fort Logis, Grand Pre the previous year, Cornwallis sent John Gorham to Piziquid to construct Fort Edward and imprison the Acadians.

The Mi'kmaq numbers continued to grow, therefore Gorham sent a messenger to Fort Sackville for reinforcements.

The St Croix Recreation Park consists of two softball diamonds adjacent to each other.

The fields have been host to many national softball events, including the 1998 and 2004 Canadian Senior Men's Fastpitch Championships, the 2000 Canadian Midget Fastpitch Championship (when Central Frontenac Cyclones went undefeated to win gold), the Eastern Canadian Fastpitch Championships, and numerous other Nova Scotia provincial tournaments.
